Some of the cheap ones aren’t real bone conduction. After a fake pair I bought a pair of Shokz, wear them in the shower all the time, usually after getting them (and myself) sweaty.
Yeah, I got a pair that claimed bone conduction, but just has little speakers that play into the air. Can hear them just as well holding them next to your head as wearing them. Didn’t try them under water, they have little speaker holes. They work as emergency backups.
Beware of poor fitment though. I got some cheap wired ones years ago (from Amazon), didn’t work so well because they had bad contact and no mechanism for adjustment. Kinda also needed a preamp, though if contact were perfect maybe that’d matter less.
I also am not so sure I’d trust them to be waterproof, and anything that is would likely have a heftier pricetag. That, and I’m pretty tired of everything having batteries.
Boneconduction headphones. Can get real cheap ones from aliexpress, I use them for swimming every week

Well, I can hear mine just fine underwater so whether they are real or not never passed my mind

Does the Bluetooth work underwater?
Nope, bluetooth in general doesnt work underwater. Gotta download mp3 files like you are back in the 2000s
sandstorm.mp3
Or wavpack files
Works just as above water except with a range of about 10cm.

Been using mine for 3 years now, its 100% waterproof. Also, they sound better underwater/when wet
What headphones do you use underwater?
Literally a random boneconduction headphone I found on aliexpress with good reviews
